Over 500 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor! Here's why... tour guides will discuss a self-guided tour map with you to make sure you are aware of the many paddle route options around Big Hickory Island... and share with you recent wildlife sighting locations! If you are new to kayaking they will coach you on how to safely operate your single (one seat) or tandem (two seat - two person) kayak.
PS... we have paddleboard rentals too!
Paddle the beautiful Big Hickory Island and Estero Bay estuary, where we routinely encounter beautiful shorebirds, dolphins, and even manatee (March-October). You can explore the web of mangrove tunnels as well as the open channels around the island. The west side of the island is a beautiful beach that is much less visited than most since there is no road or pedestrian access. This beach is blessed with currents that wash up an unbelievable bounty of sea shells... you will be amazed! Bookings are for a 2-hour rental... you can stay out longer for a small additional hourly rate.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
